Managing the keratoconic patient with KeraSoft IC

When refitting from RGPs into KeraSoft IC, wearers may require a period of “de-moulding” before their cornea settles. This may effect the KeraSoft IC fit and prescription. Guidance is given below on how to manage these patients.

The advent of Corneal Collagen Cross Linking has meant changes in the way keratoconus patients are managed. It can benefit the patient, in terms of required time without lens wear, to be fitted with KeraSoft IC before and after this procedure.
